Paisley and Shapes
'Paisley and Shapes' is a color art of blues and purples. When I first saw this design, and I was not sure what I was going to do with it. I saw the circles and dots and what looked like little suns, and even the weird flowers, and it hit me shades of blues and some purple would look good and send thoughts of a cool or even a cold area. What do you think? Please share your comments.

Fall
Here is a color art I entitled 'Fall' and I used crayons of autumnal colors of browns, reds, oranges, a little green since there are still some green at this time of year. I think I even put in some yellow. Fall is my favorite time of year and that is why I decided to 'color' this using fall colors for I was going to at the start depict a 'Spring' but for some reason I was thinking about something else that made me think Fall. Hope to see your comments and suggestions.

Circle Flowers
Here is another crayon art piece that I stated above entitled 'Circle Flowers'. I used blues, green, pink, and a few other colors. The leaves are green that is the only way that I know these must be some sort of flower or flowers. I almost used my colored pencils and thought what if I colored each segment of each flower a different color, and then I thought that would be pretty but a lot of switching between colors. Also, I do not have that many different shades of colored pencils. Hope you like this one and please comment.

Butterflies
"Butterflies" is a page from an adult coloring book. I used crayons to fill in the designs. This could be a worksheet for preschool or kindergarten children or even could be used in a special education classroom. The children can count and match the colors of each butterfly. How many orange butterflies? How many blue butterflies? Count the antennas of all the butterflies. It could also lead to a nature/science lesson. Please comment.

person
'person' is a pencil sketch that I did trying to show action of some kind. It is a sketch using my version of Cubism using cubes, squares, triangles and rectangles of various sizes. I see a person trying to throw a ball of sorts. I wonder what you see and I hope to read some comments that I would truly appreciate. I have more pictures and color art posted here on Vocal in ART and CRITIQUE. If you are interested in seeing more of my artwork I have published several coloring books and an art book at 'artwanted.com'.
